Sons of the Old Woman

[LorrB]

Ever wondered about the similarities of Freemasonry and Sufism?

..Today the stone is served by men called Beni Shaybah (the Sons of the Old Woman).

The crescent moon goddess (and virgin warrior Goddess of the morning star), Al-Uzza, was known to the pre-Islamic Arabs as “The Mighty”.

Her sacred grove of acacia trees once stood just south of Makkah, at Nakla. The Acacia tree was sacred to the Arabs who made the idol of Al-Uzza from its wood.[12]

…state that the goddess who dwelt in the sacred black stone was given the title Shayba (see Beni Shaybah - the Sons of the Old Woman, above) who represented the Moon in its threefold existence - waxing, (maiden), full (pregnant mother) and waning (old wise woman). Although the word Ka’ba itself means ‘cube’

Inside every Mosque is a niche, or recess, called the Mihrab - a vertical rectangle curved at the top that points toward the direction of Makkah. The Sufis know the Mihrab to be a visual symbol of an abstract concept:… HRA?

(Sufi mystics are known for disseminating their knowledge under the sign of the Bee)

I know we have a Perfect Cube lodge here... we have hives on our collars... HRA is self explanatory.... etcetc

Any thoughts. I'm just wondering if we spelled Solomon correctly

Is this the origin of the sprig of acacia?


From the above site:

"“(Lady of the Resurrection). She brought out from the sea a round loaf of bread (kulucha), and offered it to the King of the World."

The hieroglyph for Isis includes a rounded loaf of bread.

And didn't an acacia tree grow around the body of Osiris... can't remember where I read that story.
Everything seems to mirror something else.
Maybe it is the same story/myth/parable/whatever just adapted for the different populations. A Babel.

What would the round loaf of bread bought out of the sea refer to, in your opinion?

I suggest that the ocean was not an Earthly ocean. The loaf may have come from Sirius (hieroglyph) since the Sirians in question are amphibian www.hereticpress.com/Dogstar/Religion/Dogstar.html
